OuR pICs AnNouNCiNG oUr LiTtE pRinCeSs LonDyN Ann

We have been waiting for our little princess for so long and we have always said that when the time comes that we finally get pregnant we were going to go all out to celebrate our little miracle. So I found an awesome photographer her name is Kristina Curtis and she is so fun to work with. We took the pics to announce we are having a little girl and her name will be Londyn Ann Burke. I am only 20 weeks in these pics so u can kind of see a little bump. The day we took them it was so cold and windy so my hair got messed up and I was really worried how the pictures would turn out but these pictures were not about me they are about our little miracle and Kristina did such an awesome job . We love these pictures and can not wait to work with Kristina on my maternity's and newborns .

oNE bRoKe DaDdY

One of the first pair of  bloomers we got for Londyn

One of the many perks of having a baby girl is all the cute headbands,hair bows,shoes,tutu's,clothes, etc . When Greg and I were guessing what gender our baby would be we both knew we would have a girl. We both are very happy & excited to have our little princess and  let's be real here shopping for baby girl stuff  is a lot more fun than shopping for baby boy stuff  I know that sounds so mean and I don't mean to offend anybody or piss anybody off . Don't get me wrong I love shopping for little boys I have four nephews and there is cute stuff out there but let's be honest there is tons more stuff for girls and that brings me to the subject of my post. When we found out FOR SURE we are having a girl the first thing I wanted to do leaving the doctors office was run to the  nearest baby gap and to every cute little boutique in sight to start my  baby girls wardrobe and let's face it any child of mine weather the baby is a he or she will have a huge wardrobe. Shopping is just my thing I have actually had friends ask me to be their personal shopper and when I was growing up my little sister who's 16 months younger than me always asked me to pick her out outfits to wear, as soon as my brother got home from his mission he took me to gateway with him and asked me to pick him out stuff. It is just something I love to do and I don't mean to sound conceded but my wardrobe isn't to shabby! Now that there will be a little mini me running around I am afraid Greg is worried he will be one broke daddy. I have already gotten rompers in every color along with matching leggings and bows, she already has more pairs of shoes than Greg and she has every tu tu I can get my hands on. Greg surprisingly isn't freaking out though like I thought he would but maybe that's because he just got a huge 12 dollar raise at work and he finally makes what he deserves and now making tons of money   that financially puts us in a really good place to start our family and move in to our new home in May that we have been waiting to move in to  for a couple months. I use to feel really bad because I didn't work for a long time and Greg worked his butt off to support us while I went to school and I have always had a really hard time with it I didn't like that he was the only one working and paying the bills. So I finished school and got a a job doing hair and also in marketing where I am making really good money. It feels great to be helping out Greg and doing something with my day, I have to keep busy  I can not handle boredom. However, because of Greg's Job  and how much he is making now he told me he wants me to be a stay at home mommy and that we can afford that lifestyle. This isn't something new, Greg & I decided this was the plan when we were dating. We both agree that it is best for me to be home with our kids while he works that is just how we want to raise our family but I am not going to give up one of the things I love to do most ...doing hair, I will still do it here and there but I am quiting my marketing job in May or June. So most of my paychecks go towards my wardrobe, decor for the house, and Londyns wardrobe, by me working it just gives us that much more extra money to spend and to save up. It's really hard to save the money though I have never been good at it at all.I just want my little princess to have  the best possible and I am loving every moment of shopping for her and picking out her nursery decor. I love my husband so much and am so thankful for him, he is so dedicated to his job and I have always admired him for it and I am so proud of him for getting this h raise that is a huge blessing to our family. I feel so blessed to have him ,he is so patient and kind and he is going to make such a great daddy.Here are some of the things we have purchased for our little princess

Londyn is a summer baby so we found this cute little swimsuit









k how cute is this? MY FAVORITE
